# $ K + If the SCSI Hard Disk Stops Working If the SCSI subsystem has been operating properly for a reasonable length of time, and if no specific errors appear on the display, the problem may be due to equipment failure.

If you have made recent changes to the software, such as changes to configuration files or drivers, this could cause the problem. Refer to the software documentation for more information. 2. If you have installed a board, ensure there is not a resource conflict between the new board you have added and existing boards. If you have changed the options on an existing board there may be a resource conflict: a. Remove the new board and restart the computer.

Check that the new board is not using memory, I/O addresses, an IRQ, or DMA alsoused by the SCSI subsystem. Refer to the board's and SCSI subsystem manuals for more information. 3. Check the SCSI cable for problems that may have been caused by recent computer maintenance, hardware upgrades, or physical damage. 4. If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages, check each component associated with the failure.

If the SCSI Hard Disk Stops Working
If the SCSI subsystem has been operating properly for a reasonable length of time, and if no
specific errors appear on the display, the problem may be due to equipment failure. The
problem may also be due to some recent change you have made to the system.
1.
If you have made recent changes to the software, such as changes to configuration files or
drivers, this could cause the problem. Refer to the software documentation for more information.
2.
If you have installed a board, ensure there is not a resource conflict between the new board
you have added and existing boards. If you have changed the options on an existing board there may
be a resource conflict:
a.
Remove the new board and restart the computer. If this corrects the problem, the board is
either defective, or it is trying to use a system resource used by the SCSI subsystem. Change
the board's settings as needed.
b.
Check that the new board is not using memory, I/O addresses, an IRQ, or DMA also
used by
the SCSI subsystem. Refer to the board's and SCSI subsystem manuals for more information.
3.
Check the SCSI cable for problems that may have been caused by recent computer
maintenance, hardware upgrades, or physical damage.
4.
If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages, check each
component associated with the failure. Equipment failure, however, is the most unlikely reason for a
SCSI subsystem failure.
